Stock Markets Trek to Higher Ground / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
In a shout out to Kasey Kassem – keep your feet on the ground and reach for the sky! The equity markets continue the trek to higher ground last week, as the markets rose for 5 consecutive days before taking a breather on Friday. In what was a quiet week for economic data, the markets by rising most of the week are indicating that the path of least resistance remains higher. The coming week we’ll get to see the impact of “cash for clunkers” as retail sales will be released, along with inflation data and housing starts.

Explosive Upside Potential for Stock Market S&P 500 Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
Once again, the market attempts to sell off (perhaps triggered by the imposition of tariffs on Chinese tires by the Obama Admin), but the weakness does not stick. From a medium term perspective, the daily chart of the S&P 500 e-mini contract remains remarkably and potentially explosive on the upside as it fulfills the long standing target zones projected off of the huge base pattern -- at 1100 and then 1200.

Unemployment And Stock Markets, Next Good News Or Great Depression? / Stock-Markets / Economic Theory

Stock Market Crash, Rosenberg Says this is Your Last Chance! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
Over the last several months, we have been very fortunate to read the missives of Gluskin Sheff's chief economist and strategist, David Rosenberg. Aside from a stellar career at Merrill Lynch, Mr. Rosenberg gained notoriety for his early "call" on the recession that began in December, 2007. Now Mr. Rosenberg is gaining notoriety as the last bear standing. Despite a 50% run in the S&P500 and a growing chorus that the economy has turned a corner, Mr. Rosenberg has been steadfast in his resolve:

Stock Market Counter Trend Rally Near Reversing, Awaiting Top Confirmation / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles have taken over and if they make their lows when expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2014. This would imply that much lower prices lie ahead. This will not be a straight-down decline, but a series of intermediate-term rallies and declines until we have reached the low point.
SPX: Intermediate trend - near reversing! The counter-trend rally which started in March is soon coming to an end. The price objective for a high is being reached and, to deceleration, we have now added negative divergence. But we cannot call a top until we have a confirmed reversal.

Greenback Gases, Gold and the Meltdown of the Global Financial System / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
At the end of a good movie, oftentimes apparently unrelated events are woven together and it becomes clear how and why things happened. If, today, it feels as if we are at the end of an era, it is because we are; and, just like the movies, only at the end do certain events and the reasons for them become clear.
